THE MONEY: Big name Hollywood producer has conservative net worth estimate based on producer fees for film and television. Thought to receive 7.5 percent of the top dollar gross on his films. Has produced pilots picked up by three major networks for fall.

BUZZ: Hopes to score big with this month’s film release “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time”, but movie doesn’t have 3-D component, which could hurt box office. Plans for fourth installment of “Pirates of the Caribbean” moving forward and could include 3-D. TV hits “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and spin-offs syndicated at more than $1 million per episode. Not everything turns to gold. New show “Miami Medical” looks like it will be dropped. Early in career, teamed up with the late Don Simpson; produced “Beverly Hills Cop” and “Top Gun.” Born in Detroit to German-Jewish immigrants. L.A. Kings season ticket holder. Holds annual celebrity charity hockey game in Las Vegas. Has shown interest in becoming partner in Vegas franchise if league decides to expand. Married to novelist Linda Bruckheimer.
